Measure the Area You Wish to Cover

Rod Face - Measure the width of your drapery rod, not including finials
ORCoverage Area - Measure the width of the area you want to cover. If ordering pleated drapery, consider adding 4" - 6" on either side of your opening to maximize natural light and provide the best finished look.

Note: We have made allowances for fullness, returns and overlaps as needed to ensure a beautiful finished look.

If ordering drapery that does not need to close (stationary), consider ordering a drapery with less coverage.

How to Measure Length for French Pleat Drapes

Typically, pleated drapes are used with drapery rings or a traverse rod. This style comes standard with drapery hooks set in the back of the panel for installation purposes. To get an accurate measurement, you'll need to know which hardware you will use before measuring for your drapery length. Refer to the drapery measuring diagram on this page.

Decorative Traverse Rod: Measure from the bottom of the rings to the floor. Pleats will hook into the rings and the decorative drapery rod will be seen. (as shown in photo)

Standard Traverse Rod: Measure from the top of the drapery rod, to the floor. Pleats will hook into carriers that are not seen, and the pleats will cover the drapery rod.

Drapery ReturnThe return is the measurement from the front of your drapery rod to the wall. Measure the depth of your hardware brackets to determine your required drapery return.Note: A 3.5" return is most common.

Fabric Samples:

Because of variations from one computer screen to another, it's difficult to precisely match fabric color on our website. We suggest that you purchase fabric samples if color matching is important to your individual buying decision. To order fabric samples, click the "Sample" button on the top menu while viewing the fabric of your choice in our Fabric Selection Tool. From there you will be able to cart your sample.

Drapery Lengths:

Graze Length: The drapery panel hangs just at the floor.

Trouser Length: Add 1"-3" to your Drapery Length so that the panel spills slightly onto the floor. Trouser is not recommended for functional drapery panels.

Puddle Length: Add 4"-12" to your Drapery Length so that the panel "puddles" on the floor. Puddling is not recommended for functional drapery panels.

Drapery Weights:

Vinyl-covered, lead-free drapery weights are used in the bottom of our drapery hems to provide control of drapery panel corners after installation. Drapery panels have a better hanging quality when weighted at the bottom corners.
